Canada Palestine Association, Vancouver and Voice of Palestine, Canada endorse the call by solidarity groups and civil society organizations to the Egyptian Military and government to immediately open the Rafah crossing. The crossing opening seems to be the last thing on the Egyptian military rulers’ agenda. Thousands of Palestinians are stranded at the Cairo airport, and all over the world.

No foreign journalist was threatened until yesterday when the “Mubarak thugs”, as CNN report Ben Wedeman called them, took to the streets and started attacking people. Even foreign governments, including our own, managed to grasp that it is Mubarak supporters who are trying to shut down the foreign media.… Read more
